Beautiful vintage hand-carved wooden statue of Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child.

This piece was purchased in Germany and retains the original label from

Kunsthaus Wolfgang Blech, Heilbronn, Germany, a gallery known for selling traditional Alpine wood carvings.

The sculpture is carved from solid wood (likely linden, a traditional carving wood used in Germany) and features fine details including Saint Christopher’s staff and the Christ Child seated on his shoulder.

Saint Christopher is known as the patron saint of travelers, and statues like this are traditional devotional pieces in European homes.
